Hii <3 ~
I have not worked with the whole ActivityPub thing yet, so I’d really like to know how the whole thing kinda works.
As far as i can tell, it allows you to use different parts of the fediverse by using just one account.
Does it also allow to create posts on other platforms, or just comments?
I have tried to log in with my smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone account, and it redirected me correctly to the blahaj lemmy site.
Then I entered my lemmy credentials and logged in. I got logged in to my lemmy correctly, but I also got an error just saying “Could not be accessed” in German.
And now I am still not logged in in PeerTube.
Sooo does blahaj zone support the ActivityPub, or is this incorrectly “kinda working” but not really?
Ahaa I see.
So would it be possible to view peertube videos from within lemmy using AP?
When clicking into the commenting text box here, it looks like it offers me the ability to sign in with some fediverse accounts.
If you search for the PeerTube channel URL in the BZ search bar, it should pull in the channel as Lemmy community. I don’t know if PeerTube and Lemmy are totally working right with each other yet or not, though. They’ve had issues in the past.
Very interesting. I just tried that, but that query just returned no results.
What did you search for? It’s, regrettably, a little specific. Try searching for guixgaming@tube.tchncs.de It took 15 seconds or so, but it ended up showing up for me:
Unfortunately, it doesn’t return any videos when I actually check out the ‘community’. Lemmy doesn’t seem to fetch older content from PeerTube like it does from other Lemmy sites. But if I search for the video using the URL you’ve provided above, and set the search to ‘posts’, it shows up:
The video doesn’t appear as embedded media, though, so while you can interact with the video comments, you still end up sent off to the PeerTube site to watch the video itself.
peertube embeds are supposed to be fixed in lemmy 0.19.6, so when updating to that lemmy version they should start working again
Fancy!
does it work if you search again?
search for remote content sometimes doesn’t show up the first time you try, searching again just after that can help.
if the channel still doesn’t show up, does searching for an individual video work?
